The sox are like a nightly blooper reel.
Good win today to stop the slide but... WTF. You got to fire Farrell and consider the whole front office don't you?
Minimum, Cherington has to go, and go right now. The offseason signings of Hanley and Sandoval, they basically bid against themselves.
And Farrell? An unexpected World Series does not get you off for 3 last place finishes, which is where they are headed. He needs to go right now and bring in someone like Ron Gardenhire as interim and try to right the ship, especially the friggin pitching, the arms are there, they are just not pitching up to their potentials. Jason Varitek might have been a .256 hitter, but he was the best I have ever seen call a game from behind the plate, and catching 4 No-No's just proves that, and he didn't catch those games with Hall of Famers pitching, he caught Hideo Nomo, Derek Lowe, a rookie in Clay Buchholtz and Jon Lester who was coming back after cancer. Pedro, Schilling or Beckett weren't the ones you would have expected him to catch a no-hitter with. Maybe a catcher who can call a game behind the plate can help this pitching staff.
I do love the Arkansas kid that they drafted.
Nice job by Brock Holt getting that triple in the 8th to complete the cycle! Getting a triple has to be the hardest hit to get for the cycle, and he nailed it with two outs in the 8th. Well of course, contrary to what I just said, Mookie Betts hit after Holt last night in the 8th and needed a home run to complete the cycle of his own. Wouldn't that have something, back to back hitters, and back to back cycles!!!! NESN is replaying the game from 3-5 PM today and I am DVR'ing it so that I can watch it when I get home from work tonight at 1:00 AM.
The Sox had two triples in one inning last night, and three triples for the game.
